Portorož, Slovenia - Relax & Rejuvinate

Since the 13th Century, Portorož in Slovenia has been synonymous with health and well-being. For the ultimate in pampering breaks, Portoroz has no equal. Portorož - or the 'Port of Roses' - is Slovenia's most celebrated Mediterranean seaside resort. The town has a distinctly French or Italian Riviera influence and is situated in an open, wind-sheltered area that enjoys a beautiful, balmy climate. The warm, clear waters of the Adriatic are perfect for swimming and relaxing. For lovers of healthy foods, there is an abundance of olive oil, fresh vegetables, ground spices, seaside fruits, pasta, tantalising seafood and excellent wines. The town has been known since the 13th century when the Benedictines from the Monastery of Saint Lawrence treated ailments with seawater and salt mud.
